Economics
Economics encourages students to produce cogent analysis of problems in the world around us and provide informed solutions.
Economics at City
A thorough understanding of economic theory helps students understand the underlying dynamics of finance, business, politics, international relations and current affairs. Such knowledge also informs our pupils' decision-making skills.
Why study economics at City?
The economics department aims to provide a learning experience that is topical, inspiring, stretching and enjoyable. We work hard to ensure learning takes place in an environment which is both supportive and non-judgmental. Most lessons are discussion-based and encourage students to harness an ability to develop their own opinions using economic theory with logical analysis.
Teachers use both current affairs and historical examples to introduce topics and to support students in their efforts to apply the theory to real life situations. In order to foster a knowledge and understanding of recent economic affairs, the department uses a wide variety of stimuli ranging from newspapers, magazines, lectures and current books.
